“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

We are right in the middle of a story of passionate, yet doomed love, death and revenge. Catherine Earnshaw and her stepbrother Heathcliff are the closest friends in their childhood. They are separated when Catherine marries Heathcliff’s rival Edgar Linton, although she still loves him. Heathcliff leaves their home, a Yorkshire manor in a rough and romantic countryside, but eventually comes back to take revenge: Everyone who has mistreated him and kept him away from his only love has to suffer now. At the end his passions are powerful enough to ruin both himself and those around him, which turns him into a typical Byronic hero.
